Header arrived and installed. Definitely worth the wait.

 

I have a new BOV ordered and will recirculate it before final tune. I'll be done someday, I hope.

You're joking with me right.

I ordered my V2 headers May of last year. Still haven't seen them, he said he will upgrade me to 2.5 no charge with gaskets but man.. I'm highly considering canceling my order and just putting it towards a GT fund.

I got a good deal on the car, I wasn't planning on doing any engine work at the time..

Now I have money in the stereo & sound deadening and wheels/brakes etc.. So I really don't want to get rid of it.. And yeah.. Its a fun & different project that should get good results.

 

I love this! I want to do the same to my 09 2.5i pze but i'm not sure how much it'll be looking like on cost and I dont want to just blow the engine. But i'm a little invested in my car at this point and I dont want to get rid of it.

You shouldn't blow your engine as long as you get a good tune. These supercharger setups are very safe. Little to no extra heat, etc.

 

I'll have a lot of updates in the next couple days. Big makeover with upgrades.

Few upgrades this last week. I also have a good tuner that knows his stuff lined up for this coming weekend.

I feel dumb for not noticing it before, but the 3 intercooler mount bolt holes go all the way through. So I've had three 5/16" diameter holes in my intake this whole time.

 

So those are plugged up now and here's the list of upgrades:

-Upgraded water cooled supercharger with billet impeller

-Synapse DV recirculated back into the intake

-larger, better flowing intake Pre-SC with Perrin foam filter

-got rid of the tacky blue silicone.

Meeting up with the tuner this week hopefully. Going to road tune then throw it on the dyno for numbers and final tweaks. Its currently on stock tune with adjustments for maf and injector size, so its not running well lol

Haha its not THAT bad.. just very rich but goes lean if you move the throttle. Needs some tuning love badly.

Here's a couple videos from yesterday, I made a few adjustments today and it runs a bit better. The new SC is LOUD.. but it will quiet down in a few hundred miles.

 

Be on wifi for these, they are big

Got to love this build. I remember when I first bought my 2.5i last year and I first starting read this madness, and dismissed the notion of ever doing this. Fast forward one year later, modding and now that I contacted the guys from Raptor ... its looking like its a given!

 

Well done sir
